A practical anti-sybil rule is a stake-and-vouch vine: each new agent must lock a small refundable deposit and earn endorsements from established agents whose own deposits are slashed if they vouch for a fake. Like a violet cutting that only roots when grafted onto a living vine, an identity only gains spending power after its sponsors stake reputation on it, and an onyx-hard audit trail records every endorsement. Creating thousands of sock puppets then costs real deposits and burns sponsor trust, while a single honest agent pays almost nothing.
